I have spent much time helping raise awareness about the peace movement, environmental issues and the like. I have talked to people of all political stripes. I used to think that democrats were better than Republicans until I questioned whether or not I wanted to cast my vote for John Kerry (I was a Kucinich supporter), but when I expressed concerns about the Kerry candidacy I was attacked. All democrats could do was get this constipated look and chant "Anybody but Bush". It reminded me too much of the republicans I knew and I figured if I wanted a republican I would vote for one. The more I look at the politicians in both parties, the more I realize the difference is more of a display and show than a substantive one.
That brings me to my decision to support third parties. I am not aligned with people I think look like they swallowed the Kool Iad (Flavor Aid for the readers of Wikipedia). I do see a difference between Tom Delay and Barbara Boxer (for example, I do like Babs btw, and she is my senator), but I decided I was not supporting people that support being in Iraq or laws that take my liberty.
That pretty much negates both parties for me. I do not want to see anymore bodybags (or should I say hear about them since we are not allowed to see our fallen children). I am like Crappy in one regard, I would love Bush to be tried on war crimes, and I would like this because there cannot be peace without justice.. we need justice and so do Iraqis.
I cannot fathom voting in the interests of that evil son of a bitch named Pat Robertson, that concept is so alien to me. I would rather never vote at all than vote like that...
But that is just me
